Regis,
You sound just like me. Most times after I eat a substantial meal, especially lunch, shortly after I'll get hit by depression, anxiety, brain-fog. At times it feels like an invisible hand pushing me down to the ground. On a few occasions I've actually had to leave work and go home.
I've explained this to a few doctors, none thought a glucose tolerance test was needed. Their attitude seemed to be that this happens to everyone.
One day last week I didn't have time to eat lunch. Instead I made a protein shake with whey and orange juice. It gave me enough energy to get through the afternoon and I didn't experience the rapid downward mood-energy shift.
I may need switch to having very light meals, and then maybe a protein drink as a lunch substitute or to help out between meals.
warm regards ~Jake
